Yesterday in pedant mode I corrected Mrs MF when she went to give me a number.
'O' one, two, she started. It threw me for a second.
It's not an 'O' it's a zero I offered up in best CUK pedant mode. You do it then she said.
Rightio.
zero seven nine etc etc I said smugly.
What's your parents number then?
Well that's 'O' one eight....
FFS!!!!
It seems that certain combination of numbers, 07, 01 solicit a different verbal reaction.Is there an etiquette here????
These things keep me up at night.
